CTF is gaining interest across the globe but needs "insentivisation" to overcome a general inertia against changing to CTF

There is still much to learn about how to optimize CTF systems both in practical and research terms

CTF should be considered to be more than a soil conserving farming practice. CTF also allows optimised driving patterns, more efficient operations and more precise targeting of inputs

For European Conditions track gauges of 3 m on tractors and other agricultural machines will remain a constraint in relation to traffic regulations. Further development of "CTF friendly" machinery (including tractors) together with variable track gauges is a top priority.

To gain the greatest advantage from CTF, farmers need practical, technical and scientific help to reduce their tillage inputs without increasing risk to their production systems.
